I would ignore the motion rate fluff that manufactures come up with these days. There are more important factors to consider and basically every 4K TV on the market right now has a true refresh rate of 60 or 120 hz.

What TVs are you looking at brah ?

I have a 2013 65" Sony 4K with the speakers built in and freakin love it. It does seem like Samsung is bringing 4K tech along faster at this point as they are about to release the first 4K blue ray player.
120hz is plenty and the guy that said 240 is better doesn't know what he's talking about. Much more important factors to pic quality than that.

Doesn't matter if the content you watch isn't broadcast at 240. 120 is what you need.

In what way does this not matter? It's the most important factor when choosing a TV, and price reflects it.

60hz is a waste of money. There's nothing above 120hz, except simulated motion rates up to 960.

Motion rate via interpolation, not refresh rate, is what means jack shite.

I realize, though, that it's practically impossible to have a discussion here (or any other forum) about TV refresh rate without the confusion of interpolation muddying the waters.

At that price I think you could do better. That's one of those big box club TV models. Shoot me a text or email tomorrow while I'm at work and I might be able to help you out.

Demonstrably false - lots of folks turn OFF the interpolated refresh rate as part of the "soap opera" effect. There is no appreciable advantage, currently, for a native refresh rate greater than 120hz and almost 100% of sets are natively at 60hz or 120hz.

You think LG is charging thousands for those giant OLED sets because of the refresh rate?

I think I've seen you chime in on other TV threads with accurate knowledge. You work in the industry?

By that logic you don't need 120 either. The highest broadcast rate you'll get is 60hz

I will say that 120 is what I would go for since it can show movies at 24fps at a normal rate aka it shows each frame 5 times. 60hz it has to switch between 3 and 2 times
